She offers many images and ideas to help me understand what I need to do. She used anatomical images and models, as well as in-depth discussions to make sure I understand. She is also very personable, making what could be an awkward endeavor a pleasant experience.

Vani does amazing work, listens so well, and cares about helping me. I am grateful for her. This is my second time seeing her, first a few years ago after my first surgery, and now after a new surgery. She is very knowledgable and passionate about women's' health.

She is so knowledgable, emphatic, and definite - I am compelled to follow her guidance and treatment recommendations, and they work! Recently, she noted an issue I was having with my low back and helped me immensely with her therapy and coaching, telling me "I treat what I see", which I greatly appreciated hearing. She is wise beyond her years and very funny too!

Srivani D. Swaminathan, PT, DPT reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
